Question 1 out of 5

A wire has a cross sectional area ‘A’ length ‘L’ and young’s modulus ‘Y’. it is pulled by a force ‘F’ which causes a total extension of length ‘l’. The force ‘F’ is so adjusted that the wire is only slowly stretched. Find the work done by the force  in pulling the string by a length ‘dx’ when extension is x (0 > x > l)
